Therefore, the Israelis countenance (脸色,面色)showed self-satisfaction.A Chinese, who was accustomed to the firm tradition of l
7、oyalty to parents, said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable.

8、ment, one pure-minded Samaritan(撒玛利亚人) who was squatted (蹲)on the ground resting his chin in his hands, bewilderedly (为难地)looked at other people, and asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?”Suddenly, the atmosphere froze. Then the group looked back at the Samaritan and re
9、mained speechless.

Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD, of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this o
15、verlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”. “The lift bees this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.” We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else es in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed. He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want its your own little box.
